Selecting lines to delete? 2

[ecope]

Hello, I am using AutoCAD Mechanical (not Mechanical Desktop). I use to be able to type E on the command line to start erasing objects, I try to drag a window around the lines but it does not select the lines. I can window from right to left, left to right, partial select and window around everything, but nothing selects.

Is there a setting that has be changed?

Thanks!

Sounds like the layers are locked.

if you are trying to pick lines in the defpoints layer and the 0 layer is turned off then you'll encounter this problem just in case.

Set your system variable HIGHLIGHT to 1.
